Organization and Telecommuting

Telecommuting in organizations

Telecommuting means that an employee completes tasks included in his/her normal work part time or fixed term in a place outside the employer's office, which is defined in the telecommuting contract. Usually telecommuting doesn't include working at home short term or the occasional evening or weekend work, or work while travelling, unless this type of performance is specifically agreed upon with the employer. The practices vary between organizations.

The goal of telecommuting is to diversify the organizing possibilities of work in various ways. Telecommuting is a way of rearraging and enrichening work. The goal is to maintain ability to work and increase the personnel's motivation in different situations of life.
